Specifications & Features

Professional NVMe Solid State Performance

The Extreme Pro Portable SSD uses NVMe solid-state technology to provide high-speed storage in a compact external drive.

Compared with conventional portable hard drives, SSD technology eliminates mechanical moving components and provides much faster access to stored data.

This makes it suitable for demanding workflows where large amounts of data must be transferred frequently.

Up to 2000MB/s Read Speed

Sequential read performance reaches up to:

2000MB/s

Fast read performance reduces loading and transfer times when working with large files stored on the SSD.

It can be particularly useful when accessing:

• Large video files
• High-resolution photographs
• Creative projects
• Large document libraries
• Archived data
• Backups

Up to 2000MB/s Write Speed

Sequential write performance also reaches up to:

2000MB/s

This makes it possible to transfer large amounts of content onto the SSD considerably faster than with conventional external hard drives and slower portable SSDs.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2

The SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD uses a USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 interface.

USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 provides theoretical interface bandwidth of up to:

20Gbps

A compatible USB 3.2 Gen 2x2 host connection is required to achieve the drive's highest advertised transfer speeds.

Connecting the SSD to a slower USB interface will limit performance to the capabilities of that interface.

USB Type-C Connection

The SSD features a USB Type-C connector, making it convenient for modern laptops and desktop computers.

SanDisk includes both USB-C and USB-A connectivity cables, allowing the drive to work with a wider selection of compatible computers.

1TB, 2TB & 4TB Capacities

The SDSSDE81 SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD family is available in:

• 1TB: SDSSDE81-1T00-G25
• 2TB: SDSSDE81-2T00-G25
• 4TB: SDSSDE81-4T00-G25

These capacity options allow users to select storage according to the size of their workload.

Actual usable capacity is lower after formatting and system-related requirements.

4TB High-Capacity Option

The 4TB SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD is particularly suitable for users managing large collections of professional files.

Four terabytes provides substantial space for:

• High-resolution photos
• RAW photography
• Video projects
• Creative assets
• Project archives
• Laptop backups
• Business documents
• Large media libraries

Its official model number is SDSSDE81-4T00-G25.

Forged Aluminium Chassis

SanDisk houses the Extreme Pro Portable SSD inside a forged aluminium chassis.

The metal construction contributes to physical durability while also serving an important thermal function.

Aluminium Heatsink Design

The forged aluminium chassis acts as a heatsink.

Heat generated by the SSD during demanding transfers can be dissipated through the chassis, helping the drive maintain stronger sustained performance during longer workloads.

This is particularly important when transferring large video files or other substantial datasets.

Durable Silicone Shell

The aluminium body is complemented by a durable silicone exterior.

The combination gives the drive additional protection while making it easier to grip during portable use.

IP65 Water Resistance

The SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD carries an IP65 rating.

The water-resistance portion of this rating provides protection against specified water-jet exposure under controlled test conditions.

The SSD should be clean and dry before use and should not be treated as waterproof for submersion.

IP65 Dust Resistance

The same IP65 rating provides protection against dust ingress at the specified level.

This makes the SSD better suited to field environments than an ordinary unprotected external drive.

Up to 3-Metre Drop Protection

The SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD is designed to withstand drops of up to approximately:

3 Metres

This additional physical protection is valuable for photographers, filmmakers and other professionals who regularly carry storage equipment between locations.

Drop resistance does not make the drive indestructible, and sensible handling remains important.

Carabiner Loop

An integrated carabiner loop allows the SSD to be secured to compatible equipment.

It can be attached to items such as:

• Backpacks
• Camera bags
• Belt loops
• Equipment cases

This reduces the risk of accidentally leaving the compact drive behind while travelling or working on location.

256-Bit AES Hardware Encryption

The Extreme Pro Portable SSD supports password protection backed by 256-bit AES hardware encryption.

This provides an additional layer of security for sensitive files stored on the drive.

Users can protect selected content through SanDisk's supported software environment.

SanDisk Software Support

SanDisk provides software tools for managing supported storage devices and files.

Depending on the operating system and current SanDisk software version, these tools can assist with functions such as:

• File management
• Backups
• File transfers
• Drive management
• Access to supported security functions

Software functionality can vary according to platform and version.

Designed for Content Creators

The combination of high transfer speeds, large storage capacities and rugged construction makes the Extreme Pro particularly useful for creative professionals.

Typical users include:

• Photographers
• Videographers
• Video editors
• Graphic designers
• Content creators
• Filmmakers
• Media professionals
• Business users

Excellent for Large File Transfers

Moving hundreds of gigabytes of footage or photographs can take considerable time with slower storage.

The Extreme Pro's up to 2000MB/s performance substantially reduces transfer times when the connected computer supports the required interface and can keep up with the SSD.

Compact Portable Storage

Despite its professional performance, the SSD measures only approximately:

110.26 × 57.34 × 10.22mm

It can therefore be carried easily in a:

• Laptop bag
• Camera bag
• Backpack
• Equipment case
• Pocket

Lightweight 77.5g Design

The SanDisk Extreme Pro Portable SSD weighs approximately:

77.5g

Its low weight makes it particularly convenient for photographers and videographers who already carry significant amounts of equipment.

Operating Temperature

The specified operating temperature range is:

0°C to 45°C

The specified non-operating/storage temperature range is:

-20°C to 85°C

5-Year Limited Warranty

SanDisk backs the Extreme Pro Portable SSD with a 5-year limited warranty.

Warranty coverage is subject to SanDisk's applicable terms and conditions.
